For the Netherlands the theme of 2018 is self-management. A concept that intentinal communities are familiar with, but where there is also a lot of interest in housing corporations and neighborhood- and tenant-organizations.

In self-management a part of the tasks is done by the residents themselves. This varies from the joint cleaning of the building, the renovation and furnishing of common areas and maintenance of a shared garden.

But there are also further forms of self-management where the residents buy up the complex and arrange the rent and maintenance themselves.In the Netherlands the latter is called the wooncoöperatie, which concept that is on the rise.
